1. Other enclaved countries. Biafra would not be the only enclaved country in the world.
Lesotho is entirely enclaved inside South Africa. They have a population of almost 3 million and still have a higher GDP per capita than Nigeria. As far as we can have an internationally brokered deal with Nigeria to freely allow us use Nigerian airspace for civilian planes, we would be just fine.

2. Oil and gas money The south east has more oil and gas reserves than the Federal allocation it gets.
With oil in Abia and imo States and gas in Anambra state, we have enough of that resource to gradually build a more sustainable economy if we plan well. Don't forget that Nairobi Kenya was built with money from tea and coffee. Nairobi is more beautiful than Lagos built with oil money.
Electricity can also be generated with our gas reserves

3. Military Today Igbos have no military and have no right to form a military. If we are allowed to go with our 5 states, we would have the right to build a military, To buy as much deadly weapons and defence technology as we can afford to buy. We can get Israel to even help us with a low budget iron Dome technology for aerial self defense. We can be able to take the war to any future enemies without being sitting ducks.

3 Customs, immigration today Igbos have no right or sovereignty to defend our land. Any abokì can walk from futa jallon and come and settle in the hills of Enugu. All we can do is rant as far as fulani government refuses to act, we can't do anything. Any trailer filled with whatever can drive into SE today without us being able to check what is inside. With biafra we can legally mount checks on our borders to check what is going in and out according to international law. Do you know that oil is being smuggled out of Anambra on a daily basis? In biafra, we can have checks for things like that legally

4. Passport if they allow us take our 5 states, we would also be obliged to drop the overabused Nigerian passport that can't even get you into Cape Verde. We would create our own passport and build its reputation on a virgin ground and with hindsight on how reputation can ruin a passport

5. Foreign diplomacy today Igbos are not known in international politics. With our 5 states, we would have the right to join the United Nations. We would have the right to build relationships with other countries on equal basis. We can even become a closer friend and protege to Israel, Our president can stand Infront of the UN general assembly every year to speak for us. We would automatically become a sovereign people. Very very important

6. Federal tax if we get our 5 states as biafra, all the billions of naira that goes from our region to Abuja in taxes will stop. That is money that we can use to build our nation

7. Federal fees instead of paying Nigeria government for things like passport, driving license, vehicle papers, radio and TV licences etc, you pay it to the Biafran government. That money can help us achieve a lot.

8. Policing in our 5 states, we will no longer have abokì people mounting road blocks on our roads and killing our hustling youths in the name of policing all because of deep-seated hatred. Biafra police would be 100% Igbo

9. Airport and travel with biafra of 5 states, we would now fly and land in Enugu (for instance) instead of Lagos or Abuja. Our government can even partner Air Peace to create an airline carrier that can later rival Ethiopian airlines. Where there is a will there is a way. Remember that

10. Sea port it gets tricky here but we have options that may be better than going to Lagos to clear our goods. We can import with more air cargo than with ships. Or We can spend money and dredge the river Niger and dock at Onitsha river port. All we need to do as a country is to buy barges and keep them at onne port or Duala port, once a ship docks there, all cargoes going into Biafra would be transferred to the badges and sailed up the river Niger to Onitsha. Or We can also negotiate with Nigeria to use the Enugu-port Harcourt rail to transport containers and pay Nigerian customs. Either way, we would be fine.

11. Capital flight to Lagos and Abuja Igbos who are quick to build their mansions and businesses in Lagos, Abuja, port Harcourt etc would be forced to come home as they automatically lose the right to live freely in Nigeria. Those returning igbos and their money would help us start building or country from day one

My grouse is with Nnamdi Kanu. He banked on biafra which our people have strong emotion for, Using propaganda to indoctrinate hoards of willing youths. They have created hundreds of facebook page where more people are being brainwashed.

heniford2:
to Add up any organizations likes of MTN, DSTv, and etc have to register in Biafra, for your information we have sea at Abia that links up to sea Cameroon and etc, just let's have Biafra first

heniford2:
be calm everything is in place if we get our country,

Rossiminku:


You're an IPOB LIAR.

In your dreams do even 20% of south south comprise Igbo, talk less of 50 to 65%.

Thieves.

YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO CORNER NIGERIA'S OIL RESOURCES UNDER THE GUISE OF "IGBO SELF DETERMINATION".

Nigeria will Crush you.

We are not doubting if china is rich. But lets look at the economics.

If it cost 5 billion to start and airline with 1 plane in both Nigeria and Biafra.

In Nigeria i have 50 flights a day and each flight make 100,0000. While in Biafra, i have 5 flights a day. Same 5 billion, where do you think ill recover my investment faster? Nigeria or Biafra?

There is a reason MTN came to Nigeria first before Ghana.

Do you think China will choose Nigeria over US market?

Us trade over $500 billion, Nigeria trade about $13 billion. So china will easily ignore Nigeria to protect US trade.

mekaboy:
UK and catalonia already built. So you want to take igbos 100 years back to start building? Who will wait for you to finish building and come and meet up with others?

How will your government be formed? Which state will produce president?

Ekpeitit:
It's true that Igbos can't survive without Niger Delta.
If you could survive on your own you wouldn't need us.
We are not fools,we know your people very well.
You're a selfish tribe that has no respect for others.
Remain in Nigeria and suffer,we will never join you.
We rather die in Nigeria than join Igbos in Biafra.God forbid.

selemempe:
first of all the vast majority of Igbos don't work for the federal government. Those who do can still be partly absorbed into the government of the new biafra. Others can find some thing else to do... like farming or buying and selling.

2. Majority of Igbos do not have property outside igboland. Those who do are mostly capable of protecting their assets. Emoney for instance can protect his house in Lagos just fine.
Those who have property but can't protect it would have to wait for negotiations with Nigeria by Biafran government. Don't forget Nigerians also have billions of dollars worth of assets in Biafra like Glo, GTbank oil and gas companies, factories and even houses.

3. Has Nigeria that has been independent since 1960 gotten everything ready? Is Nigeria self-sufficient? What the hell are you talking about.

mekaboy:


You have to form a government first, get recognised by other countries, become viable, before they come for licence.

2ndBase:


You have shown and displayed ignorance by your self serving opinion and delusion. Google is your friend to know how dissolution of a country happens and how to share assets and liabilities. Time frame is given to settle issues by witnessing international community and not the fire brigade approach you spewed up there.
You no get sense at all.

Ikology:


How do you take care of thousands of families who depend on government for their well-being? what immediate plan do you have to protect our properties in other regions should breakup happen, knowing what the hoards of hoodlums and opportunist in these regions are capable of?
For you shout breakup, you must have gotten everything ready in our region. Southeast ought be self-sufficient first.

heniford2:
the purchasing power is no more there bear it in mind that once Biafra leaves others will want to leave too and to your surprise how many aboki have money to buy stuff how many, when we talk about money the reason why USA is super Rich is the have money relax when we get Biafra we will show u guys how to run a system not allow a aboki with no knowledge to governor smart people

heniford2:
are you aware that a bag of cement is sold at 5000 naira now look when we get Biafra are you aware no particular state in Nigeria apart from Lagos is doing fine than any Eastern state in infrastructure check have you been to East or your just typing from ur house

obasiken:


Anang, ibibio, Efik, ijaw, ishekiri, kalahari,uhrobo, Eshan, benin sitting one table?.......I laugh in swahili.

so SS is also tired of the 1 Nigeria contraption but are too scared to speak up.

heniford2:
when ever Biafria is recognized as a country you will start get recognized embrasse will come up business nogation and etc it will not take much time like you think is easy though we may witness hardship for the first 1year or 2year remember we have a lot of our brothers and sisters aside doing very well imagine when the come back with aids imagine fast rebuildment remember Israel �� had no date base on ground when the moved to Palestinian today you dare not point at Israel without thinking twice.so relax

How is that freedom?

The SE is underdeveloped with allocation from federal government.

There is unemployment already.

Now igbos leave police, army, navy, customs, telecoms, banks etc and return to the SE with their families.

No government, no jobs, no allocation. Without employment and source of livelihood. You tell the hungry igbos that they have freedom?

You will have anarchy and humanitarian crisis. Imagine UK telling their citizens to vote to leave EU.

When the leave EU, they will start thinking of how to provide food, shelter, electricity, employment infrastructure etc. After they have left.

No sane leader that truly loves their people will do that. They first prepare themselves to be independent before they ask to leave.

Ojukwu had no plans, he jumped into war. What was the outcome?
[s]
Today, kanu has no plans for a Biafra, but is fighting for it[/s].

Sorry he is not fighting for Biafra. He is using biafra to make money.

Kanu told you they offered him Biafra with 5 states and he rejected. Why didn't he take it, if he had any plans for biafra?

mekaboy:


Still can't find any plan here. All i read is, we will. Will you enter a plan that a keke rider intends to fly?

mekaboy:


We have them all and igboland looks this way? You have no housing plan for igbos that will return. No employment plan for the igbo youths already in the SE, talk more of those that will loose their jobs and return to the east.

You are telling me to relax. Is that what you will tell them with their families when they have no accommodation, jobs, food? You tell them to relax that our people abroad are coming back?

I just 2 years, you have elections, police, army , electricity, telecoms, infrastructure etc.

What position will you give to these unknown gunmen?

You fail to plan, you plan to fail.

MISSCONGENIALITY:
I really don't understand why you are having sleepless nights over south east. How will their freedom affect you. You can stay in your over developed Nigeria and let South East suffer their undevelopment in peace. Don't bother about how they will survive. It's for them to bother about not you.

inderhappy:


Idiat.... I'll give you the answer you seek when you finally get sense

Idiat and that plan will start on mekay thread abi na mad man thread self huh

mekaboy:


In other words, you have no plans. Just making noise and asking for what you dont know.

mccloud224:
@mekaboy who isnt an Emeka

You should channel your energy into attacking your slave masters and demanding a better life for Nigerians. All this negative energy you are generating is doing more harm than good...do you know how irritated I get or how I feel after reading your irritating posts? To be honest, I feel like locating a settlement of at least 8,000 Fulani people then drop toxic biological weapons on them with a drone...afterwards locate people like you and do the same.

I am just being honest.

MISSCONGENIALITY:
Don't worry yourself. Just enjoy your Nigeria. Infact, I wish you and your generations to come 10Nigerias.

mekaboy:


Is UK depending on EU to survive now? Even during the transition period, they have enough to take care of every british citizen, even foreigners that migrate.

Has igboland been able to take care of igbos in igboland, talk more of those who will return?

Did UK wait to leave EU before having power, roads, factories, tourism, production, employment, etc?

gidgiddy:


Its not about Kanu, its sbout if Igbos would rather have their own separate country or remain part of Nigeria

Im an Igbo man who wanted Igbos to have their own separate country long before I knew who Kanu was

mekaboy:


Gencos are still in Nigeria, and all generation go to the national grid. So when you are off the grid, you generate your own and distribute.

Afam power plant was bought by tony elumelu from delta state.

Im not sure any igbo owns a power generating comlany in Nigeria.
